My gorgeous friend Tina the Occasional Cook<\/a> had a Solid Gold-themed birthday party last night. Actually, as I’m writing this, she’s still having the party. I left just minutes ago while an enthusiastic karaoke rendition of Bon Jovi’s “Livin’ on a Prayer” was still in progress. You know that song:<\/p>\n

The perfect outfit for a Solid Gold birthday party was clearly a piece from Stacy Lomman<\/a>‘s Spring 2011 “Precious Metals” collection<\/a>. It’s tough to wear a dress that was last worn by a stunning 6’1″ runway model (who is also my friend and favorite makeup artist), but I’ll share the photos anyway.<\/p>\n

\u00a0What Wendy Wore<\/strong>
\nDress:<\/strong> Stacy Lomman (spring 2011)<\/em>
\nPantyhose:<\/strong> Kate Middleton-worthy<\/a>, worn due to cold snap\/snowstorm<\/em>
\nShoes:<\/strong> Prada (2011)<\/em>
\nRings:<\/strong> My own designs<\/em>
\nLip color:<\/strong> Rebel by MAC<\/em>
\nHair:<\/strong> By superstar stylist Julie Matos<\/em>
\nMakeup:<\/strong> By Tennille Nielsen<\/em><\/p>\n

As you can see, hair guru Julie Matos wasn’t going to let me go out on Halloween weekend without something worthy of the holiday, even though Tina wasn’t exactly having a Halloween party. Hence the purple hair extension. Here’s a closer look.<\/p>\n

Two hair pieces and 38 hair pins contributed to this look.<\/p><\/div>\n

The birthday girl was stunning in a gold sequin Vicky Tiel dress<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Speaking of Vicky Tiel, she has a new book out<\/a>: It\u2019s All About the Dress: What I Learned in 40 Years About Men, Women, Sex, and Fashion<\/em><\/a>. I’ve only read a few excerpts so far but those have been highlarious and weirdly informative (now I know what Elizabeth Taylor ate for breakfast in the ’60s). Vicky will be doing a book signing at the Charles Nolan store<\/a> on November 10. Tina and I will be there! So put it on your calendars if you’re going to be in New York City that day.<\/p>\n

Thanks to Ken and Chad for hosting Tina’s big bash in their lovely apartment, and happy birthday, T-Wrexx!<\/p>\n
